Automated cleaning/disinfection
(WD (Washer-Disinfector))
EN
Pay attention to following points during selection
of the WD:
- fundamentally approved efficiency of the WD (for
example CE marking according to EN ISO 15883 or
DGHM or FDA approval/clearance/registration)
- possibility for an approved program for thermal
disinfection (A0 value > 3000 or – in case of older
devices - at least 5 min at 90 °C/194 °F; in case
of chemical disinfection danger of remnants of the
disinfectant on the components)
- fundamental suitability of the program for
instruments as well as sufficient rinsing steps in
the program
- post-rinsing only with sterile or low contaminated
water (max. 10 germs/ml, max. 0.25 endotoxin
units/ml), for example purified/highly purified water
- only use of filtered air (oil-free, low contamination
with microorganisms and particles) for drying
- regularly maintenance and check/calibration
of the WD
Pay attention to following points during selection
of the cleaning detergent:
- fundamental suitability for the cleaning of instru-
ments made of metallic or plastic material
- additional application – in case of non-application
of a thermal disinfection – of a suitable disinfectant
with approved efficiency (for example VAH/DGHM
or FDA/EPA approval/clearance/registration or CE
marking) compatible to the used cleaning detergent
- compatibility of the used detergents with the com-
ponents (see chapter „material resistance„)
Pay attention to the instructions of the detergent
manufacturers regarding concentration, temperature
and soaking time as well as post-rinsing.

Procedure:
1. Transfer the disassembled components in the WD
(pay attention that the components have no con-
tact). If applicable (see chapter Specific aspects):
Use a small pieces basket for this.
2. Start the program.
3. Remove the components of the WD after end of the
program.
4. Check and pack the components immediately after
the removal (see chapters „check„, „maintenance„,
and "packaging„, if necessary after additional
post-drying at a clean place).
The fundamental suitability of the components for
an effective automated cleaning and disinfection
was demonstrated by an independent accredited and
recognized (§ 15 (5) MPG) test laboratory by applica-
tion of the WD G 7836 CD, Miele & Cie. GmbH & Co.,
Gütersloh, (thermal disinfection) and the cleaning de-
tergent Neodisher medizym (Dr. Weigert GmbH & Co.
KG, Hamburg) considering to the specified procedure.
